  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC707: Inconsistency: Only 1 variant can be saved for price catalog &1, EAN &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to save more than one variant for the same price catalog and EAN (European Article Number) combination in the Advanced Pricing Cockpit (APC) or related pricing configuration. The system enforces a rule that only one variant of a price condition record can exist for a given price catalog and EAN.
  In other words, the system detects multiple entries (variants) for the same price catalog and EAN, which leads to inconsistency because the pricing logic expects a unique variant per catalog and EAN.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Price Catalog: A collection or grouping of pricing conditions.
  EAN: A unique identifier for products (barcode).
  Variant: A specific version or configuration of a price condition.
  
  The system's pricing engine or APC expects a one-to-one relationship between price catalog + EAN and variant. Having multiple variants for the same combination causes ambiguity in pricing determination.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Variants:
  
  Review the price catalog entries for the given EAN and identify if multiple variants exist.
  
  
  Remove Duplicate Variants:
  
  Delete or consolidate duplicate variants so that only one variant remains for the price catalog and EAN combination.
  
  
  Adjust Data Entry or Upload Process:
  
  If the data is being uploaded via a batch or interface, ensure that the process does not create multiple variants for the same catalog and EAN.
  
  
  Use Correct Variant Assignment:
  
  If multiple variants are needed for different scenarios, consider differentiating them by other keys or criteria, but not by price catalog and EAN alone.
  
  
  Check Customizing and Master Data:
  
  Verify the configuration in pricing condition records, price catalogs, and master data to ensure uniqueness constraints are respected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
